The double membrane that covers the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity is called the pleura. It consists of two layers: the visceral pleura attached to the lungs and the parietal pleura lining the thoracic cavity. The pleura produces a small amount of fluid that helps reduce friction during breathing.
The thoracic cavity is the hollow place in the body where the heart and lungs are seated. This cavity is lined with the serous membrane, which is a thin layer of tissue that secretes a liquid that keeps the organs from drying out.
Yes, the parietal pleura is a serous membrane that lines the walls of the thoracic cavity. It helps protect and cushion the lungs, allowing them to move smoothly during breathing.
The serous membrane, specifically the parietal serosa, lines the closed ventral cavities of the body. Examples include the pleura in the thoracic cavity and the peritoneum in the abdominal cavity.
The diaphragm is a dome shaped muscular membrane that separates the abdominal cavity from the thoracic cavity. Its contraction and relaxation serves an important role in respiration.
That is called the diaphragm.
